Chinese Android phones

Have a phone capable of multitasking for just $80 instead of $2,530.
The only downside is, you need to fly to China and try to find that damn company which made your phone so they can fix it.

Other than that, you get a phone comparable to $2k samsung phone for just $199 or $231. But enough of this price talk, let's get into the main subject.

The main thing which I really dislike about chinese phones: Bloatware preinstalled.
By bloatware, I mean literally, viruses. Because nothing is spoofed as Google Search and it asks for marketing information. The other bloatware which is usually preinstalled is that damn Baidu, Chinese YouTube
(Aka. Free pirated chinese movies and chinese propaganda which I don't understand)
Launcher which displays ads, App which secretly lags the whole device because it keeps installing even more useless shit.

Most of chinese phones don't do that anymore but still, root your phone the day you get it. Especially if it's chinese.

Second thing I dislike about chinese phones (This only applies to some): No OTA updates. Absolutely none.
The fun thing about not having OTA updates? Your phone shows available RAM as 5084 when in reality it's just 512mb. Also, frequent reboots! What comes behind frequent reboots? Bricks.

Other than that, they're really good. Multitasking is okayish, Wi-Fi is good, emulation is even better.
Most of these feature MTK CPUs but some have been popping up with Snapdragon 820 and Mali-T880 combo.
If you're looking for a phone with doesn't hurt your budget and is capable of doing whatever your friends phone is doing then grab a chinese phone.
Some may hate on MediaTek but they're most affordable there. They're not bad, they're like cheaper version of Snapdragon.

If you want a good one for just $230 then I suggest grabbing LeTV brand phones. They pack a horsepower starting from $160 to $250. But don't go with Blackview brand unless you want useless bloatware and exploding battery.

Other than that, question to you: Had a chinese phone or no? If you had, then did you enjoy using it?
See ya in next blog post.

There are many reasons to root a phone in the day you get it, voided warranty -> yours, bye bloatware, but keep it offline

Don't buy chinese, except OnePlus

OnePlus is overpriced lately and lacks original design.
There are many brands which don't bloat their phones like Ulefone and Xiaomi, and there are brands which allow for flashing custom firmware and rooting like LeTV (Because their stock is targeted towards chinese people)

well, Chinese phones have really shitty specs. if you have one that can keep even one app open in the background, you're lucky.

Well, if you buy one with 512mb of RAM and Nougat 7.1 then *ehh*
It's more of matter whenever phone has enough of RAM to run. 1GB is fine for Kitkat device but for Lollipop or Nougat it's not.
Now phones are equipped with DDR4L RAM, allowing for even more apps to be ran in background.

My BVZeta (before battery went ape shit and started pumping up) could keep 3-4 apps in memory just fine with 1GB of RAM

DDR4 doesn't have a difference with DDR3, it is just lower latency, so more speed, this doesn't have to do with how many apps can run in the background.
The OS is responsible to create processes, so execution speed is also important

Android 7.1 (6.0 also) and (a) good CPU and you can keep everything in memory.

Swap slows everything down unless your flash memory has a high r/w.
Swap isn't really needed unless you have 512mb of RAM or 1024mb (1GB). I only had to use swap on my Samsung Galaxy Mini [Which sadly flash memory died] because it only had 256mb of RAM.

But if you need to swap, then consinder normal amounts, unless you want your phone to collapse.
 
My phone has 0 cores, 0GB RAM, 0GB TCL Flash, 0GB Swap, a 0GB MicroSD card, a 0 in screen, Android 0.0 with custom Linux kernel 0.0

Who cares about that.
The most important question is: Can it run Crysis?

    Speaking of meatballs, what's the deal with meatball sandwich? How can people eat those? It's ROUND. Trying to bite those in a sandwich is a challenge. It's easier to eat a burger stacked with toppings. :ninja:
